"Mu Mian, are you saying that the reason the deceased maintained a smile was because she was inhaling laughing gas before she died?" Fang Rui asked.
Nitrous oxide has many uses. It can be used as an anesthetic or as a propellant for whipped cream.

In recent years, there have been several cases in Jiangzhou City of disability and death caused by inhaling laughing gas, mainly among young people.
"Yes. Her brain had already undergone pathological changes, so she had likely been addicted to it for some time," Mu Mian said. "This gas tricks the brain into producing a feeling of euphoria while causing the facial muscles to lose control, forming an eerie smile. The deceased maintained her smile because of this gas."
Mu Mian continued, "The murder weapon was an ordinary fruit knife. These knives are very common and sold in many department stores."
Fang Rui remembered Chen Xinran mentioning that the deceased had particularly treasured that bookshelf. Could that be where she hid the laughing gas?
"Mu Mian, come with me to the deceased's office. Let's see if we can find where she hid the laughing gas," Fang Rui said.
"Alright."
Fang Rui and the others returned to Director Zhang's office.
